HDTV Supplys WolfPack 6x2 HDMI Matrix Switcher has six HDMI inputs & two HDMI outputs which can show any of the 6 inputs in any combination to any of the 2-HDMI outputs.
Connect your HDMI source devices like a Blu-ray DVD, cable & satellite receiver and a video game to the inputs and the outputs connect to the two displays. The built-in signal compensation allows either display to be up to 35 feet from the matrix (using 22 AWG cables), on both the input & output side of the matrix.
The 18-key remote control lets you change inputs, outputs, audio settings and more. It outputs both optical and stereo audio on separate connectors along with the HDMI audio and video in parallel. The audios EDID feature allows you to force the Audio output to Auto (same as source) 2.1ch, 5.1ch, or 7.1ch to the output display over writing the displays EDID.
PIP: The 6x2 has 5-mode Picture-in-picture (PIP) modes that lets you view all inputs at once on one widescreen as well as you can connect your smartphone or tablet to Video Input-6 for big-screen enjoyment thanks to the MHL connector. It is boxes, not a side-by-side split, and the windows are small rectangle boxes. See the MORE PICTURES Tab for additional pictures of the PIP function.
Most 4K displays have only one 4K input so if you have multiple 4K source devices like a 4K DVD player or a 4K media player you will need a 4K switch.

CAUTION: Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) is a new standard for use with some tablets and smartphones. It transmits video and audio via the micro USB connector and converts it to an HDMI signal. Some tablets and smartphones have 11-pin MHL outputs and some have 5-pin so we do not include any cable including an MHL to HDMI cable. They are commonly available so check you smart device to buy the proper MHL to HDMI cable.
The matrix can automatically read your input devices' EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) parameters, sync them, and select the suitable output parameters. The (PIP) small Picture-in-Picture mode lets you view two inputs at once and you can connect your smartphone or tablet to port-6 for big-screen enjoyment due to the MHL support.

Q: Does this HDMI Matrix Switch support remote IR?
A: No. We recommend using RF remote controls, see the ACCESSORIES Tab.
Q: I see the the HDMI extenders come with 2-remote IR cables, will the remote IR work with this matrix?
A: No, the cables are used when the application has one source and one widescreen. They can't be used with this matrix and need to be set aside and not used.
Q: I want to pass audio from source via HDMI to a SoundBar and also via 3.5mm to Headphones. Is audio pass-thru active on the HDMI out and the 3.5mm connector at same time?
A: Yes. Ran HDMI to a projector (with internal speaker) and 3.5mm to a mixer/PA, audio was received by both.
Q: Does the PIP show real time video?
A: No, it is static and not moving and has a random picture of the unit.
Q: How does the audio output work?
A: It has a toslink audio out and lets you flip between 2 ch, 5.1 and 7.1 with its EDID switch
Q: Tell me more about the 4K compatibility.
A: Of course, being limited to 4K over HDMI 1.4 means you???e limited to 4Kp24 frame rates. The 3D support will be for 1080p 3D content.
Q: What is ARC on this 6x2 HDMI Matrix Switcher?
A: The (ARC) Audio Return Channel in HDMI 1.4 enables a TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data???pstream??o an A/V receiver or surround audio controller, increasing user flexibility and eliminating the need for any separate S/PDIF audio connection.
TVs have always been able to receive multi-channel audio through an HDMI connection, and this is still a typical use-case, with the TV positioned???ownstream??rom content sources and any connected audio equipment. However, if a user had a TV with a built-in tuner or DVD player, and wanted to send content???pstream??rom the TV back to the audio system, a separate connection had to be installed, typically an S/PDIF cable.
Q: This 6x2 HDMI Matrix Switcher has CEC, what is CEC?
A: This product features CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) allowing your HDTV's remote to manage up to ten devices that are connected via HDMI (such as Blu-ray Disc players or home theater receivers) with no special programming needed. For example, you can use your remote to turn on your TV, your player, and your receiver at the same time, and adjust the system volume with one button. All devices must support CEC, though.
Most major TV manufacturers now support CEC, and an HDTV with HDMI 1.3 will likely have the technology. Manufacturers call it by different names; LG Electronics, for instance, calls its implementation SimpleLink, whereas Toshiba calls its version CE-Link. Interoperability isn't mandatory, so some manufacturers limit control to their own products; Sony, for one, allows only Sony-to-Sony communication. CEC needs to be on both TVs, also.
